ill agree with MOST of the zine clan on here, and say this site is a cool site. why be annoyed over something you can simply walk away from??? anyway<br />
broken headphones are annoying, the kinds that are torn up with wires sticking out and you have to hold still in a certain way to get the sound all even.&gt;=/

Personally, I really dig WMZ....all of it, the mature, the lame, the community, the advice, even the stupid arguments make my work day just a bit more spicy and interesting. Keep it up, all of it....

There are lots and lots discussions that go on in the forums that do not end up with name calling. There are also only a small percentage of members that often seem to like to stir up shit. I don't have the numbers, but based on all of the information on WMZ and the problems I am guessing we are looking at 92% positive zine talk.

This seems like typical forum behaviour to me, which is why I avoided forums for so long in the first place. I thought this place would be different, I don't know why. I get I was holding zinesters to a higher standard than the rest of the world, which was silly of me. When I first joined this site it seemed pretty awesome, but I wasn't really getting involved in the form because, well, this sort of behaviour seems to crop up a lot there.<br />

<br />
It's unfortunate, because there are some really good posts, or at least they start out that way, and it's really neat to be able to communicate with so many zinesters all at once and see how everyone does things differently, learn some tricks etc. But I find even my rational posts just get looked over when there's a fight going on, everyone seems to want to have the last word.<br />
<br />
It kind of makes me miss the days before I knew about this place. It was harder to find other zinesters, but it also wasn't saturated in so much other crap. I mean, this first and foremost is a great place to connect with other zinesters, do trades, and hear about and plan events and stuff, but it never ceases to amaze me how people on forums can lose all maturity at the drop of a hat or suggestion.

I stopped using the forum for a while because it irritated me so much, then I decided to start using it again and try to push against the tide by regularly starting positive discussion threads, but really, it makes no difference. I won't bother in future. I enjoyed using the forums before they were flooded with idiocy.</div>
